VERSATILE REAL-TIME LIDAR SENSOR

Puck Automotive Robotics Mapping UAV Security Industrial

Velodyne Lidar’s Puck is a small and compact lidar that is performance

and power optimized for usage across a variety of applications ranging
from automotive, mapping, robotics, security, smart cities and more.
The Puck is attractively priced and built on the foundations of
Velodyne’s leadership in lidar, enabling real-time, surround view, 3D
distance and calibrated reflectivity measurements.

The Puck has a range of 100 m and generates up to ~600,000

points/second, across a 360° horizontal field of view and a 30° vertical
field of view. It uses proven, Class 1 eye-safe 905 nm technology with Puck at a glance
substantial autonomous fleet validation, making the Puck a sensor of
choice for lower speed autonomous vehicle (AV) applications. The Puck • 100 m range with compact form factor
